These numbers correspond mainly to the audience in Chile, although the festival has a global reach estimated at around 250 million viewers for the entire event (including TV broadcasts across the Americas, parts of Europe, North Africa, and Australia, plus worldwide streaming via Disney+).

-----
THE POLL:
The most spectacular?, maybe. Just because there are both things here. The scenary of Viña del Mar, the staging of PSB

It's like having 2 scenaries in 1, giving it a multidimensional aspect. Full of screens, lights and a high scale space. Like rock and roll stars. I don't remember something so big on any concert from PSB or festival. But what do you think?.

Yes, for me. Of course, Perfomance had the “art” and its fans will always say that it was their “live peak” but this was another level for a joyous party, pop music of the highest pedigree, visuals to die for and an atmosphere akin to that of Rio ‘94. I’m so pleased for Neil and Chris. Amazing scenes.

I wonder if there could be a poll to find the most pointless poll...??? 🤔

Unbelievable scenes! :wink:

Definitely agree with this opinion. It was an ecstatic spectacle and the integration of the Dreamworld and Vina del Mar sets looked outstanding. It's a powerful enough presentation when it's running on the standard two screens but it looked amazing when extended over the festival's own screens and over the stage too. And nary a pixel out of place, neither. It was definitely worth bringing the extra servers over. Hats off to the technical teams who made it all work together.

Tell me you’re not a bully without telling me you’re not a bully! FFS man leave the guy the f*** alone. 100% guaranteed if I had said that video looked amazing you would not have replied to me in the way you did to Nickname. Or at all. Stop being a bell end. What are you, 12yo or something?

Great Light set design.
Performance is bleak in comparison.
The best live set design was when they did those 2 songs with Trevor Horn with full Orchestra etc.

Thanks for your support.

Apart from that, some people here in the froum are thinking that was the most spectacular stage of the career of PSB which is something relevant after more than 40 years of career.

So the poll is correct.

Well, I think Discovery is more spectacular, as is Pandemonium.

However, I probably don't fully understand what you mean by 'spectacular'. What I do know is that, overall, I think Dreamworld is their least appealing stage design, especially during the boring first half an hour. I don't go for the visual aspect of the show; I go for the songs.

This refers to the fact that in Viña del Mar, they added the festival's own resources to their usual DreamWorld setup. Technologically, it's a very advanced festival. As a result, the stage was much more spectacular. Much larger screens, lights, etc
